Plant-Powered Plates recipes

Vegetarian and vegan recipes built on vegetables, legumes, tofu and homemade plant milks, from sauces to desserts. The savory side runs from Slow Cooker Lentil Soup and crispy falafel to Spinach Mushroom Lasagna with béchamel, a Buddha red bean bowl, quinoa-stuffed mini peppers and hot honey Brussels sprouts.

Many dishes are dairy-free swaps for classics, such as vegan ricotta made with tofu, a creamy Alfredo sauce, Caesar dressing and a non-dairy clam chowder. Sweet recipes include blueberry crumble pie, banana pudding, cupcakes and almond milk pudding. If you want to start from scratch, the homemade almond, oat and cashew milks, sweet potato butter and herb vinaigrette are good places to begin.

Look at the stated time first: spreads and drinks take minutes, while baked casseroles and breads need an hour or more.
